The lady in the morning (I think I overheard her name is Mini?) is the sweetest person! She is so kind and friendly, always greeting customers with a warm smile. The coffee is amazing and reasonably priced. It’s so hard to find a place that sells (or even knows about) flavoured coffee! I’m talking about actually infused beans, not adding flavour/syrup to it. The German Chocolate Cake flavour which they brew a couple times a week is my all time favourite. Will miss this place now that I graduated!

I enjoy coming to Cafe Reznikoff for chill reading sessions, studying, and drawing. The workers here are so friendly and nice, especially the morning staff! I like the big windows with plenty of light that comes through, and the plants displayed on the windowsills. It makes the atmosphere relaxing. For fellow vegetarian and vegans, theres sometimes a veggie option in the to-go case, but I havent tried the hot lunch options yet since I'm mostly there mornings. I do wish there was a option for non-dairy option like oat or almond milk for the coffee, though. To enter, go through the Morrison Hall door on St George St. For payment they accept credit/debit and T-Bucks if you're a student (I'm not sure about cash).

Nestled on the vibrant St. George Street side of the University of Toronto, this hidden gem of a campus eatery is a haven for hungry souls seeking a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is both airy and bright, creating an inviting space that beckons you to indulge in a delightful culinary experience. What sets this place apart is its commitment to serving cafeteria-style food on real plates and with actual cutlery, elevating the dining experience beyond typical campus fare. The menu boasts a modest yet diverse selection of hot prepared meals, catering to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. During my visit, I opted for the Veg Calzone paired with a refreshing side salad, and the flavors were nothing short of delectable. The reasonable prices and swift service make this eatery a go-to spot for a quick and satisfying meal. The convenience extends to the pick-up selection of snacks and drinks, ensuring that there's something for every palate. Despite the simplicity, the food is Honest Dinkum, as the Aussies would say—no frills, just straightforward goodness. What truly enhances the experience is the generous seating area and the bright ambience. The spacious setting invites you to linger and enjoy your meal, especially if you plan your visit outside the peak lunch break hours. The staff, pleasant in their demeanor, respond even more warmly if you engage with them using a high-context approach, fostering a connection beyond the transactional. In essence, this campus eatery offers more than just food; it provides a clean, bright, and welcoming environment where you can relish a satisfying meal in peace. A visit here is a testament to the notion that sometimes, simplicity is the key to a truly enjoyable dining experience.
